Future Purchases

• If you know of items that you will be purchasing
  in the future, you can start the search early as
  possible and locate vendors when there is no
  pressure to make a hurried decision.
• The State of Texas Open Records Act allows us to
  share past bid information with vendors. This
  information will allow for the vendor to adjust
  their profit margin to become more competitive in
  the future.
